Canidae Leads Pet Food Industry in Reducing Plastic Waste with Refill Stations

Canidae, a leading pet food brand, is taking significant steps to reduce plastic packaging in the pet industry. The company has opened up discussions with other brands to collaborate on this initiative and has already made strides with its innovative refill stations. Canidae's patent-pending refill system, currently piloted in Southern California Petco stores, allows pet owners to refill their resealable bags, reducing single-use plastic waste. The company aims to eliminate over 80% of its plastic packaging in the next eight years, with plans to expand this eco-friendly approach to 100 Petco locations. The refill bins not only keep kibble contained but also minimize exposure to the outside environment, maintaining freshness. This system not only reduces packaging waste but also cuts down on fuel use by minimizing kibble packaging. Pet owners can save up to 45% per pound on kibble purchases using this refill system. Additionally, pet food makers can decrease their dependency on single-use plastic and avoid supply chain bottlenecks by using less packaging. Canidae, committed to sustainability, is leading the way in reducing plastic waste in the pet food industry. Through collaboration, innovation, and expansion, the company is making pet ownership more environmentally friendly, one refill at a time.
